A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

A fix is available that replaces pm_runtime_get_sync() with pm_runtime_resume_and_get() in the Zynq gpio driver to prevent the runtime PM usage counter leak. Users should apply the official Linux kernel update that includes this fix. No additional mitigation is indicated.

Description

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's gpio driver for the Zynq platform causes a runtime power management (PM) usage counter leak when pm_runtime_get_sync() fails during gpio request. This leak prevents the controller from runtime-suspending, leaving its clock enabled unnecessarily. The issue is fixed by switching to pm_runtime_resume_and_get(), which increments the usage counter only on success.
